Bolts of lightning - out of the blue Without forewarning - the heat is on you Watch what you say - the phone maybe tapped Under heavy surveillance - looks like you're trapped Under investigation - whether guilty or not Without your own doing - you're part of the plot Trying to hide - going underground Just a matter of time until you will be found The noose is tightening - there's no return Moral cleansing - free thinking must burn This is serious - your face in the mud The end of the story is written in blood Freeze! Down on your knees! Beaten and bound Tarred and feathered they parade you around The media is feasting - your face on the news It's a feeding frenzy - a mob on the loose It doesn't matter what you say or do There is no justice - no future for you Because you're the scapegoat you are to blame This is your life - 15 minutes of shame Witch hunt - guilty by association Witch hunt - systematic defamation Witch hunt - process of elimination Witch hunt - demonized and sacrificed Witch hunt - guilty by association Witch hunt - merciless interrogation Witch hunt - ill-reputed executed Witch hunt - which hunt? Burn that witch Witch hunt - guilty by association Witch hunt - methodical eradication Witch hunt - crucified by morning light Witch hunt - which hunt? Burn that witch You've always been different - you've spoken your mind Set yourself apart - now they hate your kind A foreign element - the unknown factor An alien component - the Hannibal Lecter
